Admin-User-Access (free)
I needed to create a user group that could only edit articles from one category, from front-end only. The free version allows this:
1. Create AUA groups.
2. In the AUA config, enable 'category access'.
3. Set rights for each group - which categories can they work with.
4. Don't forget to assign your joomla users to the AUA groups!!!
For front-end editing only, assign user to joomla group 'publisher'. This isn't all details, but hopefully this will help.

Social Media Wizard
Very easy to install.
Please note - the graphic in the module text (installed) implies you have a choice of 100+ icons, but you can only install 3, and not all you see in that graphic are available. They should clarify this in the text, or change the graphic in the module left column (when installed and open).
But, this free version worked very well. Thank you.

Thanks. I needed to set some redirection from the pre-joomla site to the joomla site pages. It works great.

Note, a blank line at the end of the list of URLs will create a redirect loop which is unresolvable. Make sure you don't do that, or go back and remove it when your site is 'gone'!

Account Expiration Control
This is a great product. Lots of customization and choices possible. Tech Support is fantastic. I got SOOOO much help in the first hour of support I purchased. I think paying a fair price for support is the great way to "repay" these open source developers. I asked them to install and set up the initial plans. Afterward, all my questions since were promptly answered, plus links to help pages and/or videos. The only "hard" part of the process was in the beginning, understanding all it could do. But my pre-sales emails answered the questions I had. Suggestion: have a clear idea of how you want to use the software (what you want out of subscription software) to do, and ask in advance if this is possible. I had tried another product first, but there were conflicts with the template (which I was not going to be able or willing to change). So far, no conflicts with AEC and this template. Now I see that the software has many, many options that we didn't even think about using before, but will likely ... like trial periods, coupons for free guest accounts, coupons for free trial periods, etc. THANK YOU!!!!

Load module into article
I had used another plugin to do the same thing about a year ago, but for unknown reason it quit working. Couldn't figure out why, so, I found this one. WORKS PERFECTLY!!! Thanks to the developer for sharing this one!

RSform Pro
I have built my first form. I purchased license for one domain (RS Form Pro). Asked for help from tech support to add a javascript feature; they were fast and gave me the help I requested. I am still learning about the backend, but first impression is wonderful. Thanks!

ShareMe
This is exactly what I wanted -- to just add the ability for site visitors to share certain articles with friends on Facebook and followers on Twitter. I was able to select only one category for this plugin to apply to. Very nice styling, too. THANK YOU!

Simple File Upload
I used this to allow the web site owner (when logged in) to upload pdf files to a specified folder, from the front-end, then she can edit article with link to pdf file. Works great! Very simple to use, easy to style. THANK YOU!!!!

I had a flash file working in the header in about 5 minutes. Thank you!! Very easy to use. Tip: Hover over parameter names to see instructions for use.

Thank you everyone for your comments.

MooFAQ
Works just as stated. Very easy to install. Looks great!!! THANK YOU!!! FYI: To order FAQ within a category in the same order you have set in the articles section, choose Primary Order = "Order" (I know, sounds obvious, but I kept trying to do this in the Category Order drop down box and, duh, it didn't work). So easy to configure: Each FAQ is a separate article. Place question in Article Title. Place answer in Article Text (above read more, if used).

Googlemaps Plugin
This plugin Googlemaps is easy to install and configure -- thank you -- and looks very professional! I made one mistake, in that I unwittingly set the plugin to use maps.google.com default behavior (Control type: Automatic) and then I couldn't figure out why my parameters where being ignored! The developer, Mike, was quick to answer my email request for assistance on this problem. Thank you very much! I totally recommend this plugin.

Sourcerer
Thank you. I had this up and running very quickly. I added a javascript for a dynamic weather script from accuweather.com into a moduule via Sourcerer. It worked, first time! Honestly, I didn't really understand all the other features it has (yet) but had no problems with this. Make sure to install the plugin and enable it first, before using the module.

Thanks for your review, VThomas.
YEs, the module needs the plugin to work. Joomla sets all plugins to unpublished by default. So publishing it after install goes for all plugin extensions.
Most features in the plugin are for security control. You can leave it alone, if it all works. If Sourcerer! doesn't seem to work somewhere, it might be due to those settings being to strict. If the code doesn't work, you can look into the source code of your website to see why. Sourcerer! places a html comment that states why certain code is not shown.
